You could also use Eclipse's ASTParser to scan sources for annotations.

QDox is awesome. It's what we use actually.

I decided to compile classes -> then run my maven plugin to find
annotations.

I have been able to do it instantiating my own classloader (adding it
target/classes directory)
and running my class scanner to detect annotations. It works now but i
have
to perform some reflection to instantiate my scanner in its own
classloader.
I thought of using my class scanner directly in my maven plugin and
run the
plugin in a URLClassLoader that has already the classes/target url in it.

Hope i have been clear enough.

Thanks

It has the code for populating a classloader, and anything in Maven
uses plexus. If you're writing a Maven plugin it uses plexus.

What exactly are you trying to do aside from populating a classloader
with the classes and dependencies of the current project?
